French Language goals for January: To read and write graphicnarrative texts (comics). We will focus on story elements such as character, setting, problem and solution as well as looking at the messages within the photographs. Word Work: present tense verbs
English Language goals for January:
To begin our new year we will be reading and writing procedural texts - Instructions for how to do an activity.
Students will also explore media literacy techniques as used in magazines - the use of photos, font, captions, subtitles, etc...all of which are used to capture the reader's attention.
Word Work: We will continue to do word sorts and practice high frequency words.
Math goals for January:
This month's math strand is Measurement. The big ideas are:
1. Objects and events have a variety of attributes that can be measured.
2. Measuring an attribute involves finding the number of non-standard or standard units that are needed to match, cover, or fill the object being measured. Students will learn cm, m, km (Grade 4's will also learn decimeter.)
3. Measuring sense involves an understanding of appropriate measurement units in various situations, of the “howmuchness” of measurement units, of measurement processes, of the use of measurement tools, and of estimation in measurement.
4. Objects can be compared and ordered according to measurable attributes.
Religion/Family life goals for January:
This month's virtue: RESPONSIBILITY - we will review personal goals written in data binders and discuss the progress made so far in meeting these goals.
Students will listen to and reflect on stories from the bible related to the Epiphany as well as other stories related to "choices" that had to be made between good and evil.
Students will recognize the importance of family commitments, making good decisions and learn to trust that teachers, family as well as friends can help us make good decisions.
The concept of PRAYER will also be a part of our Religious education lessons this month. Our mentor text will be:
As we begin 2015 I wish everyone a wonderful new year, filled with many blessings!
